Family Law areas defined for you. There is a lot of legal terminology used everyday that we attorneys take for granted that everyone knows what they mean, but that is not always the case.  Here are a few of the major areas of family law, the simple explanations and links to more information.

• Divorce– the legal and final end to a marriage, a.k.a. “a conscious uncoupling”

Fault Process and “No-Fault” process.

• Child Custody– determination of the custodian(s), visitation schedule and important decision making for a minor child.

• Child Support– who pays, how much and for what.

• Modification– legal and enforceable changes to your previously final papers.

• Appeals-legal process of challenging a final order.

Additional practice areas will be featured and defined throughout the year.
